Meet the couple in their fifties who gave up their corporate jobs to embark on a life of backpacking and exploration.

Louis Broodryk, 56, and his wife Kareen, 51, made the decision after realising how unhappy their work was making them.

After years of planning and saving £20,000, they quit their jobs, bought a 4x4 car, and embarked on the adventure of a lifetime.

Their initial plan was to travel around their country, South Africa, and the wider continent for a year before returning to normality.

However, after a few months, they realised their adventures would span much longer than a year - and decided to head to South America.
